there's some scope for hydrogen fueled cars

Hydrogen is the best solution, providing a few things are overcome. The main problems with them are their cost, it is really expensive to build a hydrogen fuel cell to power a car. This might be possible to overcome if different catalyst materials can be made to work. Secondly is the hydrogen fuel economy. You need energy to make the hydrogen and most of it comes from sources with significant carbon emissions again like reforming. IF a source of clean reliable, abundant energy can be found

then we can extract hydrogen from wherever we feel like, even if it is a bit inefficient it wouldn't matter if we had that much energy. So the problem still needs to be solved at its most fundamental level, future energy production. Renewables etc. Nuclear fusion just needs to be made work. Once that is done, everything else will fall into place. Fusion can secure the long term future of energy production....the day it works will be the most important breakthrough since we found we could make fire.

I don't know hey, seems like nuclear isn't the way forward. superconducting electric motors with a hydrogen combustion generator seem like a good way forward.

better way forword

Nuclear fusion is. Go see the difference between fusion and fission.

@kabir88 | 23 January 13 | |
sorry bro, can't remember the difference, I think fission is where they split an unstable atom and it gives u a yieled or something,studied the stuff too long ago. will google it... still seems farfetched to have within a car

It's not for within the car its to make the energy you need to make the hydrogen you need to make hydrogen cars possible. Without it, hydrogen cars probably will never work because of the energy required to produce the fuel. It's too inefficient. Fusion could give us so much energy to do what we want with we can make all the hydrogen we please.

It's all well and good saying hydrogen fuel is the future for cars. Well ideally yes, but it has no hope whatsoever unless the very fundamental problem of energy production is solved. Fusion is the saving of the planet my friend. Energy is everything. Cars. Clean water, clean fuels, food production. The lot.
